What is Moby?

Moby is an open framework created by Docker to assemble specialized container systems without reinventing the wheel. It provides a “lego set” of dozens of standard components and a framework for assembling them into custom platforms. At the core of Moby is a framework to assemble specialized container systems which provides:

Tools

Tools to assemble the components into runnable artifacts for a variety of platforms and architectures: bare metal (both x86 and Arm); executables for Linux, Mac and Windows; VM images for popular cloud and virtualization providers.

Assemblies

A set of reference assemblies which can be used as-is, modified, or used as inspiration to create your own. All Moby components are containers, so creating new components is as easy as building a new OCI-compatible container.
